Proudly programmed and downloaded in Nigeria, Dr. Aguwa enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She loves sports, arts, theater, music, and is a consumption of spicy delicacies. One trivia about Dr. Aguwa is that she is the only member of her family that does not eat escargot and has yet to figure out the reason.
One of Dr. Aguwa’s many passions is mentorship, which is evident in her launching of the Chapter Premed Mentorship program. Some of the roles of participating ANPA GA members in this Mentorship program, include counseling students, providing clinical shadowing experiences and letters of recommendations when appropriate.
